@@BrazenBrits I don’t know, you are building that van better than most manufacturers build there’s ha ha. At least you are using the right tools and screws eh.
If you want to have durable and affordable woodworking projects, consider starting with a 2x12 or similar structural lumber. The center pith of almost every piece of wet structural lumber sold in the USA will warp and twist as it dries; if you start with a 12” wide board, you’ll be able to get up to 4 decent boards out of it that contain straight grain that won’t twist or warp. Also they are southern yellow pine instead of white pine
@@BrazenBrits You also end up with a good bit of premium "quarter sawn" product without the quarter-sawn price! I.e. your ripping them is the pricey part of quarter sawn lumber! Drink the Savings! Glugg Glugg ;~)
@ and like I said, the resulting wood will be extremely stable. My workbench is 2x6’s cut through the center to move the pith all to one face and keep the straight grain parallel to each other. Then after gluing, I ran it through a thickness planer to even it out. It makes for some heavy (and heavy duty) furniture. When making camper accessories, I feel like sometimes a half lap joint can be a perfect solution (as opposed to pocket screws) when high structural integrity is needed
Look up how to use a plunge cut on YT. Can be used with any type of saw (jig saw, circular, even a chain saw !) in the middle of your work without having to drill holes. Thanks for sharing your videos.
Ya know what, as we were editing I said no Nat “what an idiot! I can use the circular saw to plunge it. The blade is slightly thicker than the jigsaw blade, but it totally would have worked 🤦♂️
LOL! Hmmm. Interesting logic! Jim says he understands it. Jim is geeking out over this video and all of your amazing power tools. He says you are doing a really great job building this..... And he is a wood and trim guy! Can't wait to see it in person next week!- Jim & Michelle
Another project, another reason for new tools. Drilling multiple holes is the hard way. An easier way is using a Multi tool. (DCS356C1 as example). Sorry Natalie, a man needs his tools. 110 panel inside the cabinet, cleaner look.
Very nice Lourence Glad you chose go put breakers inside your electrical cabinet. If it had been me (and it wasnt) I would have used my skill saw & did a drop cut on or right against the line and used the jig saw just for the corners I love that 12 volt switch panel box. The only problem with ripping 2x4's is they can worp on ya...it's great for short spans....but long ones get tricky Good job 👍👏
Nice job! And Natalie is quite the Kleg Jig pro of Team Warriner now! Kudos Nat! Handy hint. To keep from getting those nasty Luan (and other thin skin) wood paneling cross cuts.... tape the cut line with blue painter's tape, mark the cut line on the tape, cut it, then peel the tape off. No cut line ... and no splinters on the finished "good side" :)
Hope y'all give some tours in AZ. I'm really curious about putting the holding tanks in for the shower. We used that thin board to create a headboard in our bedroom and covered it with batting and fabric. We got a few splinters from the rough edges. I'm really impressed y'all took on such a big project!
I have a slightly different policy, in that I try to plan projects that will require, more or less, a particular tool I have been coveting. Occasionally, if I can’t come up with my own project, I might volunteer to help a friend or family member who happens to be doing something they don’t have the coveted tool for and get one to help them out! It makes me a hero and gets me the desperately needed tool. Win win! Thanks for the video. This van build is fun to watch, but it could be better if I was in the neighborhood to assist. I’m thinking a drill press would help you out quite a lot.
Way to go guys, this could be a new business venture, BB van Conversions.
That would be so fun! If we were any good 😂

Great job kids!!! 😊
Thankyou 🙏🥰

That’s a great tip!!!! Will definitely do this in future as the 2x12s are a lot cheaper than I thought they would be

That's what I was going to say. Plunge with the circular saw.

Good Job!! Let's do this, get'er done ‼️👍😊🤣😊🤣😊🤣❤️
Haha, love the energy!
Excellent!😊 Please do carry on👍

Yeah we discovered that pretty quickly 😂

Absolutely! It wasn’t finished to our perfection but we will explain why when we get to the rally 😅
Great Job....
Thanks Paul 🥰
Good job
Appreciate it!
Thanks for finally posting. Good video.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love Laurence’s money saving “girl math logic”! 🤣
100% 😂
No puppy cameo ?
That would have been fun 🥰
Are you using a plywood blade in your circular saw? Thought I saw some splintered edges.
A 2x2 is 1.5x1.5”, not a 1x1. The surfacing takes a quarter inch off every face. 2x4 is 3.5x1.5”
better to start with a plunge cut with your circular saw on four sides then cut out with the jig saw. It was a good try.
Great tip! I'll keep that in mind for next time. 😊
Who needs an excuse to buy a new power tool!!! Just do it.
Exactly 😆

Dear Lawrence, please invest in a good set of gel knee pads. You will thank me later.
